In 2009, local photographer Peter Yankowski Walker was jointly commissioned by Oldham Council’s ‘Gateways to Oldham’ team and the Housing Market Renewal pathfinder project to create a photographic record of the environment, history and community of the Primrose Bank estate in Oldham England.

Working with residents and community groups, Peter created images that bare witness to the cultural and social diversity of a changing community.

The photographs made over the course of a year portray the changing face of the estate and the changing community - from a stark 1960’s concrete Council housing estate, towards a twenty first century place to live. Peter has recorded surprising images that are both beautiful and powerful, and these are complimented by a vision of the latest proposals to regenerate the estate.
